Indeed...there may well be various other reasons for the move but with the state of the Eurozone who'd not think this was a good idea?

Please note: I like to keep Owsblog front page reasonably 'short'; for many more years worth of Owsblog posts please use (i) the archives drop-down box in the side bar or, or (ii) for more recent just click on the 'older posts' link under the bottom blog-post. Thanks.
